Jelly Roll Quilt Magic
Kimberly Einmo
AQS Publishing; $26.95

No sign in sight for jelly roll and other precuts to disappear. If you haven’t jumped onto the bandwagon, this is a great book to start with. Kimberly”s engaging spirit shows up on each page as she guides you through creating sub-units to basic blocks to any of the 12 projects in the book, both pieced and appliqué. I found so many quilts to like in this book, and I think it’s because Kimberly has a wonderful color sense with so many of the quilts filled with light or sparkle. Extras include Kimberly’s Top Tips – love the one about dealing with fuzz from the Jelly Roll; tips for using leftovers, or “bitlits,” as she calls them; and ideas on how to host a Jelly Roll Round Robin. And, if the food theme still grabs you, Kimberly offers recipes to compliment optional quilt layouts on her website.

Look for the book at your favorite book retailer. Here’s a link to Amazon if you would like to learn more about the book.
